There have been some 400 inoculations against diphtheria at Iroâ€" quois Falls and the danger of an epiâ€" demic is consequently likely to be of benefit, as the continued inoculation will protect increasing numbers from danger of the disease.

The music for the ocâ€" cas‘on will e provided by the Shrinâ€" ers‘ orchestra, of Rameses Temple, Toâ€" ronto. This orchestra is known throughout Ontario for its musical talâ€". ent and its dance music has all the modern pep with oldâ€"time efficiency and attraction. The dance by the Shrine Club will be one of the big events of the season. It will bring atâ€" tendance from all over the district and those receiving invit.at.ion§ will conâ€" sider themselves lucky. A couple of years ago the Shriners paid a visit to Timmins and their bands at that time attracted the pleased attention of all while the orchestral music for a dance given by the local club was also much appreciated. Dancing will be from 9.30 to 2 o‘clock at the Riverside pavilion on Oct. 26th. A buffet luncheon will‘ be served. Shriners are askeq to wear the fez for the occasion. Invitation cards are to be presenteg at the door. Accompanying the Shriners orchesâ€" tra from Rameses Temple, Toronto, | are three artists of outstanding merit, and whose parts on the programme will take. all by storm.

There were no new cases reâ€" portd yesterday, and it is understood that there are not more than 7 or 8 cases all told. These are all undet strict quarantine and there does not seem to be any chance of the disease Diphtheria Well Under Control at the Falls Meanwhile a truck belonging to the McIntyre store passed along the road where Emden was lying. The boy flagâ€" ged it and was brought as quickly as possible in to the hospital. Doctors operated immediately. The bullet was lodged in the stomach 2 1â€"2 inches unâ€" der the heart. Last night the boy passed fairly peacefully and the latest bulletin from the hospital gives the lad a fiftyâ€"fifty chance of recovery. It is needless to add to this account a warning to parents to see that their sons (to whom a .22 is a nice little toy) know how to carry and operate safely such firearms. A boy is a boy, and a gun is a gun, and no matter how conâ€". fident you may be that your‘s is aA careful boy, a gun is aways a dangerâ€" ous weapon.

With commendable braverw Turner se about carrying his heatier comâ€" panion out of the bush for help. He left the rifles and took off Emden‘s heavy boots, and got the lad on his back and for two miles hurried through the bush to the roadway. Nobody was in sight, so Turner made the other lad as comfortable as he could by the roadside and in his stockinged feetâ€" to be unhampered by his rubber boots â€"he ran five miles into town not stopâ€" ping till he go; to the hospital, where he told them of Emden‘s accident and plight. He then went to the lad‘s parents and prepared them. On Tuesday morning Roger Emden, 18 years old, of Connaught Hill, with Jim Turner, 16 years, went out in the bush back of the "Springs" road five miles from town on a hunting expendiâ€" tion with .22 rifles, At noon they parked their rifles (without first putâ€" ting on the safety catch) with the barâ€" rels toward them. They then set about making a fire to prepare lunch. How it happened, they don‘t know, but probably im rustling round in the bushes a twig or branch caught under the trigger of Turner‘s gun and it went off, lodging a bullet in the stomâ€" ach of young Emden.
